Qualities in a recruiter

Our company is growing quickly and we will soon have to hire a full-time recruiter. I know there are a lot of recruiters and HR professionals in this community, as well as women here who've worked with great (and maybe not-so-great) recruiters. What are some of the important characteristics to look for and what have people here found to be important qualities to look for in a successful recruiter (from either the candidate or employer perspective)?

I think patience is key. You never want to hire a recruiter who rushes to get the job done. Hire someone who you think will be very thorough and comprehensive!

I'm a recruiter and I think my strong point is being self-sufficient on proactively networking and establishing effective working relationships with business leaders and hiring managers. I also thrive on drawing extensive knowledge of Talent Acquisition and functional areas of the business. Best of luck!

The successful recruiters that I've hired have strong analytic skills with the ability to create, measure, and scale the right workflow between candidates.
